This ought be the golden rule in Star Wars fan edits that are driven to fix or improve recognized issues (as opposed to projects that are intended only to quell personal demons) : When necessary, modify PT events to be congruent with OT 'cannon'--not vice versa.

There is early discussion in another thread about (again?) developing A prequel episode. That is, one 'new' film to precede the OT (and to replace, by Borg assimilation, Ep1 and Ep2). I wonder if there are enough anchor points in Ep3 to support flash backs or other time jumping methods? At first glance it is a feasible way to extend Ep3 into, say, a 3-hour movie. The immediate advantage, of course, is that all the prequel content is readily available in anamorphic NTSC and PAL DVD.

Admittedly, I haven't thought this through (I only know that I like the idea), but with enough clever minds and fresh approaches, any project is do-able.
